The Wire creator David Simon was first to report his death.

"Reg Cathey, 1958-2018. Not only a fine, masterful actor -- but simply one of the most delightful human beings with whom I ever shared some long days on set. On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing," Simon wrote on Twitter alongside a photo of the late actor.
